I inquired on another general pet site and was told to just use news paper in the bottom of the tank. I WAS using Aspen, and he seemed to like to burro through it, but now that he is on the paper he is MUCH more active. A friend told me that they get more/ are closer to the heat with just the paper, and thats why he is more active. So is the paper a good thing?
im not really 100% sure. all i know is that most softwoods are bad so a hardwood may be ok, i dont know enough about them to know if the oils would be harmful. if it doesnt have a strong scent then i would assume its ok to use
